Marcus Rashford posted a photo of his cryotherapy recovery treatment ahead of Carabao Cup on his social media account.
The Manchester United star is getting ready for Wednesday’s Carabao Cup semifinal matchup against Nottingham Forest.
In order to reach their first championship game since losing to Villarreal in the 2021 Europa League final, the Red Devils will go to the City Ground for the first leg of the Carabao Cup semis.
Maintaining Rashford’s health and performance is essential to the team’s goals for the rest of the season because he has emerged as the standout player recently.
The England international is serious about recovering after the game.
Rashford has spent time in an ice chamber used for cryotherapy.
The 25-year-old’s 13.8 million Instagram followers were wowed to see how Rashford often keep his mind and body in proper shape.
In the photograph, he is shown inside a chamber that is minus 113 degrees Celsius.
The caption for the image read, “Recovery.”
And it captivated his followers, as one of them put it: “Does that say -113C?! lmao.”
Rashford is frozen to an extremely low temperature by liquid nitrogen after spending around three minutes inside the chamber.
Rashford can be more quickly prepared for the upcoming game or practice session thanks to cryotherapy, which also helps to treat muscular soreness and minimize swelling, inflammation, and sprains.
Former team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo used to follow a similar routine to stay in maximum shape.
Marcus Rashford
Marcus Rashford MBE, an English professional footballer who plays forward for Manchester United in the Premier League and the England squad, was born on October 31, 1997.
He is renowned for his athleticism, poise, and offensive abilities.
Rashford, a Manchester United player since he was seven years old, scored twice on both his first-team UEFA Europa League debut against Midtjylland in February 2016 and his Premier League debut against Arsenal three days later.
He also scored on his EFL Cup and UEFA Champions League debuts, as well as in his first Manchester derby. Rashford has won the UEFA Europa League, FA Cup, EFL Cup, FA Community Shield, and EFL Cup with United.
Rashford became the youngest English player to score in his maiden senior international game when he did so on his England debut in May 2016.
Since then, he has participated in two UEFA European Championships: in 2016, when he was the competition’s youngest player, and in 2020, when England finished as runners-up to Italy.
Additionally, he has competed for England in the FIFA World Cups of 2018 and 2022.
In the United Kingdom, he fights prejudice, homelessness, and child hunger.
Rashford has won accolades for leveraging his profile to promote philanthropy and political activism in order to affect societal change.
He has been widely praised for his efforts, recognized for them by organizations both inside and outside of sport, and the subject of a mural in Withington created by street artist Akse.
Ten Hag Urges Rashford To Remain At United
In order to make Manchester United the best team in the world, Erik ten Hag has told Marcus Rashford that he wants to construct his squad around the forward.
Since returning from the World Cup, the 25-year-old attacker has scored nine goals in as many appearances, but his future at Old Trafford remains questionable.
After United activated a one-year extension clause, Rashford’s £200,000 per week contract entered its final 18 months. The club is seeking to reach an agreement on a new contract despite Paris Saint-keen Germain’s interest.
Since taking over in the summer, Ten Hag has worked to revitalize Rashford’s career and has emphasized to the homegrown youngster how United’s style of play has also brought out the best in him.
When questioned on Tuesday about Rashford’s contract issue, Ten Hag responded: ‘I think he understands Man United is his club, that’s first. But also, in this environment, in this team, I think he is playing his best football.’
‘Then, I would say this is the best place to be because we want to construct the best team, first in England, then in Europe, then in the world.’
‘He is improving and that is about him because he is giving 100 per cent energy. I think also in this team he can bring his qualities. This team is constructed so that his qualities come to the fore and I think he knows that. But definitely he is important for us and if we want to get the success we want, we need him.’
Rashford’s development contrasts sharply with Anthony Martial’s struggles under Ten Hag due to a slew of injuries. Only six of the Frenchman’s Premier League starts this season have gone the full 90 minutes in any league.
